Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


The flora and fauna of Cubbon Park captures our attention more than anything else. But when you take time to look closely at the statue, you will marvel at its sheer grandeur. Sculpted by Sir Thomas Brock, the 11 feet high marble statue is larger than life. It brings out the personality of Queen Victoria, who had been the Monarch of Great Britain from 1837 till 1901, depicting a rather proud, stern person with pronounced features.

In 1906, the statue was unveiled in the city by George Frederick Ernest Albert, Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall and York, making it stand in all its glory in its 111th year. Even though there is a wealth of history to the statue, and it was made to appear imposing, the busy Bengalureans would probably refer to it as just another landmark. As the workers are busy in discussion on the instructions given to them, life continues as usual in the Park.

A) It is made of marble B) It is 11 feet tall
C) It is 111 years old D) It is standing in Queen Victoria park

Q:

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

Genetic variation is the cornerstone of evolution, without which there can be no natural selection, and so a low genetic diversity decreases the ability of a species to survive and reproduce, explains lead author Yoshan Moodley, Professor at the Department of Zoology, University of Venda in South Africa.

Two centuries ago, the black rhinoceros – which roamed much of sub Saharan Africa – had 64 different genetic lineages; but today only 20 of these lineages remain, says the paper. The species is now restricted to five countries, South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. Genetically unique populations that once existed in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Mozambique, Malawi and Angola have disappeared. The origins of the 'genetic erosion' coincided with colonial rule in Africa and the popularity of big game hunting. From the second half of the 20th century, however, poaching for horns has dramatically depleted their population and genetic diversity, especially in Kenya and Tanzania.


Genetic diversity is proportional to _____________________.

A) species population B) the ability of a species to survive and reproduce
C) inbreeding D) extinction
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) the ability of a species to survive and reproduce

Q:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any part

Sita(a) with all her sisters(b) were here(c). No error.(d)

A) a B) b
C) c D) d
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) c

Explanation:

‘Were’ needs to be replaced with ‘was’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. This is because, ‘If the subjects are joined by as well as, with, along with, together with, and not, in addition to, but, besides, except, rather than, accompanied by, like, unlike, no less than, nothing but, led by, headed by, guided by, controlled by, governed by,etc.. Then the verb will agree with the first subject’ Thus, the correct sentence would be, ‘Sita with all her sisters was here’.
